Sandbags full of earth from Flanders' military cemeteries are to be shipped to London , where it will be an integral part of a memorial garden near Buckingham Palace .
In the Cloth Hall of Ypres , 70 sandbags lie ( one on top of the other = ) up . It's nothing to do with an imminent flood : The bags contain earth from several British military cemeteries in Belgium and are intended for a memorial garden in London .
On each of the brown jute bags a name has been written , indicating the ( place where dead people are buried = ) where the earth comes from , next to a picture of a ( red corn flower , common in Flanders = ) . Most of these names refer to places in the Westhoek area of West Flanders , known as Flanders Fields . The ? sacred soil ? has been collected by local schoolchildren and brought together in the Cloth Hall , also home to the In Flanders Fields museum .

The sandbags are to be shipped to London , where the earth will be part of a memorial garden at the Wellington Barracks near Buckingham Palace . The garden , an initiative of the Guards Museum with support from Flanders House in London , should be ready next year for the commemoration of 100 years since the ( start = ) of the First World War . On November 8 in 2014 it will be ( opened for the first time with a ceremony = ) in the presence of members of the Belgian and British royal families .

The design of the garden ? intended to be a quiet place of reflection and contemplation ? is full of symbolism . The first level of soil takes the form of a rectangle that refers to the cemeteries and symbolises death . On top of it is a circular soil bed , representing eternity as a victory over death . The ( round = ) shape also refers to the opening in the roof of the Menin Gate in Ypres , the most famous monument of Flanders Fields , from which every year on 11 November poppies rain down .
Sacred soil
On the white stone wall of the circle , the poem ? In Flanders Fields ? will be ( " written " or cut in stone = ) , as well as the names of several British regiments that fought in the Great War . ? The sacred ( earth = ) from Flanders Fields will end up in the central circle of the garden , ? says Andrew Walles , curator of the Guard Museum and one of the British promoters behind the project . ? In this way , the circle becomes a final resting place for the earth , a symbolic return of the soldiers who died on the Fields . ?
The soil from Flanders Fields ? ? Sacred soil , ? according to Andrew Wallis , curator of the Guards Museum and one of the driving forces behind the idea of the garden , was collected by children from 70 schools in Belgium and the UK . The children will also write texts which will be included in the garden , and in a book to be kept in the nearby Guards Museum .
The London garden is the first of its kind , but there are plans to set up ( almost the same , but not exactly identical = ) memorial gardens in France , Germany , New Zealand and Canada as part of the Flemish government's ( remembering and respecting an important event in the past = ) of the 1914 - 18 war . Flanders' minister - president , Kris Peeters , took part in a ceremony in Ypres last week , when the sandbags were presented . ? This is one of the strongest signals , because it's really moving when you see those 70 sandbags in all their symbolic importance , ? he said . ? The historical ( relations = ) between Great Britain and Belgium , in particular the battlefields and cemeteries in Flanders , are unique . That is why I consider it important that our first memorial garden is created in London . ?
The Memorial Garden was designed by Bruges landscape architect Piet Blankaert , whose aim is to evoke the simple character of the military cemeteries . ? The Memorial Garden is simple by its design , a representation of the graveyards in Flanders Fields brought to London , ? he said .
